      Secular scholarly consensus is that Jesus did in fact exist. The religion named after him doesn’t have much to do with his message, and he certainly didn’t resurrect or do miracles, but he did exist. The idea that he is entirely mythical is a fringe theory held by literally one scholar, Richard Carrier. It’s certainly psychologically appealing to many ex-tians but doesn’t hold water.
